Lemon has been the American Vaulting Association National Women's Individual Champion a record nine times. She also holds the record for the most medals won in Vaulting World Championship competition (five). Merriam and Monroe have both driven in Singles World Championships with Merriam winning the individual Bronze Medal in 2002.

Organized by The Community Alliance for the United States Equestrian Team Foundation, the June 13 open house will benefit the USET Foundation whose mission is to support the needs of America's high performance equestrian athletes and horses.

There is no admission charge for the open house, which will include a trade show with vendors lining the historic stables at Hamilton Farm. Other highlights include a merchandise sale of USET souvenir items and a benefit raffle with prizes such as two tickets to the United States Equestrian Team Foundation's "Our Big Fat Greek Olympic Send-Off Gala" on July 17.

Food and beverage will be available and all guests will have an opportunity to visit the USET Foundation's trophy room, built in the early 20th century. The public is invited to tour the facility and to learn about the history of the USET Foundation.

In conjunction with the open house, the USET Foundation will also host a special tour of four area horse farms on June 13 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Guests on the tour will tour each farm's grounds, learn about stable design and tour various indoor and outdoor arenas. The tour offers a chance to see how some of the best private stables set up their tack rooms and wash stalls, what types of footing they use in their arenas and other decorative and functional elements.

Tickets for the horse farms tour are $20 per person, when ordered in advance of the event, and are limited to the first 100 reservations. Maps and entrance passes will be issued upon check-in. Any unsold tickets can be purchased at the Open House for $40 per person. To reserve tickets for the horse farms tour, please call Cathy Pane at (908) 234-1251.
